Description
For me, a meaningful life is marked by deep connections with others and making the world a better place for myself and others. I’ve spent nearly a decade living abroad, where I managed a bar/restaurant/event space on Lake Atitlán in Guatemala and led wellness retreats in Colombia and Brazil. I’ve lived in an ashram in India studying yoga and getting my teaching certification, and in Thailand alongside Buddhist monks and nuns exploring meditation. I’ve taught English to children in Cambodia and yoga to the elderly in Vietnam. I volunteer with Chicago Cares, helping students in after-school programs and tend to an organic garden that supports those in our community living with HIV/AIDS.
I’m both a big picture thinker and incredibly detail oriented- I bring care, positive energy, and a sense of order into any space- these are some of my strongest gifts. I have a sixth sense for anticipating needs and understanding the motivations/goals of others. I would describe myself as creative and nurturing, with a strong sense of personal integrity. I appreciate intellectual connection and open communication from others, while also enjoying solitude, nature, art, and good books. For the best version of me shine through, I need to leave work each day believing that I have contributed to something larger than myself.
I thrive in environments where I can think creatively and work methodically- whether it be tending a garden, teaching a class, being on set, organizing information into meaningful systems, beautifying a space, or supporting creative endeavors. What excites me most is contributing to a loving, intentional rhythm, surrounding myself with inspirational people, and helping a space/project come alive.
